I have a lenovo r61i laptop windows xp professional service pack 3 intel pentium dual cpu t2310 @ 1.46ghz x2.  I had this problem before and somehow i fixed it i think i done a bios update this time it dosent work i just get blue screen with following stop code: 0x8e (0xc05, 0x80637f53, 0xa3fd299c,0x0) I have tried my memory modules by taking them out trying one at time and same problem i could get into safe mode with networking but now the networking will not work just safe mode i also tried selective startup and diagnostic startup still bsod used system restore it worked but then when i shut down laptop and went to use it again same thing again. can find loads info on code 8e but dont seem to help so i wrote the full code down as i dont know how to read these codes.  i have no xp cd.  sometimes i can get past bsod and get plain blue screen and get task manager up and i try new task explorer.exe but then bsod again

    There were 000000024 stop errors in bluescreenview from previous crashes. So, the hdd may have to be replaced. The 0000008e stop error may have been caused by Securom. By the looks of it this can cause that stop error

    The odd thing was, every time it crashed (recently) there was no mention of it in event viewer, it didn't appear in bluescreenview either

    Wow. This thread went down hill fast. From 3 pages to 8 pages most of which has no valuable information.

    Toasty:

    Please go back to page 2 of this thread and follow the instructions by Elder to configure your system to not automatically restart on system failure and to create a crash dump file when it does crash. These settings may already be correct, but we need to make sure. For some reason we're not getting dump files when Windows crashes.

    Next, boot the computer in Safe Mode with networking. Click HERE. Download, install and update Malwarebytes. Run a full scan. Remove anything detected. Once the scan has completed, anything detected removed, upload the Malwarebytes log file to SkyDrive posting the link to the file in your reply.
